Bettany’s face twisted in disbelief. “If you don’t know, don’t make wild guesses! It’s Anthony’s first marriage, not a second one.”

Hannah, with only a partial understanding of what a second marriage meant, replied, “Oh… then what was that marriage certificate they had before?”

Bettany patiently explained from the sidelines…

Meanwhile, Gilbert had finished eating but remained seated at the dining table, typing on his phone:

Gilbert: [Guys, there’s something I need to tell you about Anthony… So this morning…]

Anthony glanced at the phone, his gaze immediately warning Gilbert.

Gilbert held the phone and raised an eyebrow, his intentions of blackmail evident.

Jonas: [What’s up? Did Anthony disturb someone’s grave? He seems hesitant to spill the beans.]

Max: [What’s wrong with Anthony? Just spill it out!]

Gilbert continued messaging the group:
